AUSD/USDT perpetual on Kraken: price 1.0001, 24h turnover $193K. Updated in real time.
What this is
StablecoinAUSD — the dollar stablecoin of Agora, structured like a managed fund: a large asset manager holds and invests the reserves while the token itself is issued for on-chain settlement. The difference from the familiar Tether and USDC lies not in mechanics but in the business model: Agora shares the reserve income with the venues that place its stablecoin, and that is how it pulls them away from rival coins. What this shows: stablecoin competition has long been fought not for the holder but for the exchange and the wallet — interest income is split there, and the user never sees the price of the choice. As with any collateralised stablecoin, the risk here is not market risk but a single question: what exactly sits in the reserves and who confirms it.

How to read this
- Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. A positive rate means longs pay shorts: the market is crowded long.
- The rate rank shows how unusual that rate is for this particular coin: 97 means above 97% of the last month, a rare skew. Without the rank the bare number says nothing — every coin has its own normal.
- Open interest is the money sitting in positions that are still open. Rising alongside price means new money entering; rising while price falls means shorts building up.
- The OI rank is measured in contracts rather than dollars: otherwise it would drift up with price alone and claim a record where nothing changed.
- NATR shows how much a coin moves relative to its own price. High NATR with high turnover is where today's action is.
